...meets Pennsylvania on Soldiers Field at 3 o'clock. This will be the second contest of a two-game series. The first game, played at Philadelphia on May 6, resulted in a timely victory for the University, due to the brilliant twirling of Mahan who, besides pitching an air-tight game, drove in two runs. Judging from the way he fooled the Penn. batters in the first contest, Coach Mitchell will doubtless send him into the box again tomorrow. Spielman, the opposing team's star slab-man, will probably face Mahan...
Saturday's victory was chiefly due to the air-tight pitching of Mahan, coupled with the errorless support and opportune hitting of his team-mates. The University twirler was decidedly stingy with his hits, allowing but six well-scattered ones and whiffing nine of the opposing batsmen.

An error by Sears was just enough to turn the tide in Andover's favor, and the Academy succeeded in putting three men across the plate, and in maintaining the one-run margin until the end of the game...
...made seven errors, while their pitchers handed out 12 passes; obstacles over which it would be difficult to win any ball game. The University, on the other hand, found Spear and Parmer for nine safeties, one a home-run, and with one exception gave Garritt's steady pitching air-tight defence...
...Princeton and Yale baseball teams will meet in the second game of their series at Princeton this afternoon. In the first game, Yale was defeated by a 2 to 1 score, Deyo, of Princeton, pitching air-tight ball. The third game will be played at New York next Wednesday...
